<p class="MsoNormal">You may submit papers for the international convention until Oct. 27. You may submit a critical, scholarly paper in any aspect of English language, literature, teaching English, film and popular culture, literature of the Southwest, creative
nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. The convention this year is in Albuquerque, NM March 18-21. Our chapter helps pay your expenses. If you would like some help deciding what to submit or getting some editing help, I will be happy to read your paper and make
suggestions. Last year we had three of our students accepted. I hope we can top that this year, so send your submissions. More information is available at
